"year we are still under (as we were in the year and from August the government imposed the green pass in order to be able to eat a meal sitting in a local , and to participate in events museum visits (see August decree arrived from a few days in grotto ta and one evening I decided to sit at the convium to eat a dinnerthis restaurant – pizzeria is located right in the district of the ceramics and is two steps of the old town even if to reach the ancient slope. at my entrance, the local green passil is not located on the road level, but it is necessary to climb a narrow and long scale, you get to the height of a first floor. To park you need to find nearby, but routes two wells after the posts there is one. In the room where I was assigned the table is not very large but well organizes, the walls are covered with (for me wood) red and blue colors; the ceiling remembers a barrel. the second room I had no way to visit it; the staff of room made me sit and delivered the menu “to the card”Menu / toilet price: menu à la carte has been prepared in Italian includes courses of land, sea and pizzeria the menu inside it did not propose many courses but that also enhancing the products of Puglia. I started the dinner with an integral ear with pesto alla pugliese (heavy prepared with a local cheese) to resume the cheese were made of the spikes of himself. I continued with a frying of squid and white shrimp accompanied by an oven potato.This flow I found very good crispy and dry fried, potatoes baked and browned, shrimps were fried with all their carapace, maybe it would have been better to remove it, but it is so thin that you can also eat (in informal to me it all) white wine of the good house (I don’t remember the type placey . Good prices for the consumed courses, the contours would put them to euro instead of euro bath found in order. I suggest we try it."

"Una piacevole scoperta. Passeggiando tra i vicoli di Grottaglie ci fermiamo in questo piccolo ristorante a pranzo dove siamo stati sorpresi dalla proposta culinaria. Non molte alternative (4 antipasti 2 primi e i dolci per pranzo) ma per me è un plus; pochi piatti, ma con selezione di materie prime, armonia e sapienza nella lavorazione. Abbiamo preso 2 antipasti, tartare di tonno e polpette di polpo con cipolle caramellate; proseguito con i due primi proposti (ci hanno chiesto che formato di pasta avremmo gradito...e noi abbiamo scelto, ovviamente, come di seguito): 1. Orecchiette Cacio e pepe con tartare di tonno (apprezzato molto il contrasto tra il sapore deciso di cacio e pepe e la freschezza del tonno); 2. Orecchiette con salsa di pomodorino giallo, stracciatella e guanciale croccante (pazzesco, accostamento dell'acidità del pomodoro, la sapidità di guanciale e la freschezza della stracciatella è stato davvero notevole) accompagnando con due calici di negramaro rosato. Dolce, il tiramisù scomposto con amaretto sbriciolato (la degna conclusione, la preparazione era irresistibile, la mia ragazza l'ha assaggiato prima che potessi fotografarlo). Servizio caloroso e cordiale. Conto giusto per la qualità della proposta. Se passate per Grottaglie, dovete fare un salto qui! A presto."

"jangwa kalahari is an African restaurant located in caves. I had never eaten in this place, as much as I am very passionate about African cuisine. I've been a vegetarian for two years, so before I go there, I called to make sure there were vegetarian dishes. No problem, all right. I was with other friends, they ordered a stew of meat served with chickpea cream, a typical African dish. then cut meat and cheese with fries and not, all accompanied by 5 different creams, one more good than the other. I have a mix of mixed vegetables with spices and chili. great wine, very kind staff, cozy atmosphere and good prices! What do you expect? !"

"We were in Grottaglie for some ceramic shopping, but in Italy you need to eat too! This beautifully stocked shop has so many wonderful products, and interwoven into the shop itself is a restaurant which serves delicious, carefully prepared food lovingly served by the most helpful and charming Daniele and the rest of the family. While we were there, a family with small child, a lone older gentleman, and 2 men wearing biker jackets sat at adjoining tables for lunch. But first the wine. Daniele asked us what we liked, and he brought out 4 or 5 bottles of local Puglian wines, from which we chose the Vigna Castello of the famed Vallone estate, a mix of Negroamaro and Sussumaniello, well priced and absolutely terrific. The food came:: first, a large selection of Italian cured meats, featuring the rarely seen in US Coppocolla de Martina Franca, lardo, prosciuttos from Puglia and other regions, and then a equally copious platter of only young cheeses: several different sizes and shapes of mozzerella, a primo sale ricotto that was like a custard desert, and a smoked burrata which was so perfectly scented with a wisp of smoke that in no way overwhelmed the cheese itself. Anywhere else in the world, this would have been enough, but not in Italia! We both had a red wine and caciacavallo risotto which changed the way we thought about risotto. This experience over 2 hours was a delight in every way, and after that we just wanted to food shop. So we picked up some of the aforementioned Cappocolla de Martina Franca,, some very young ricotto, chocolates, spices, etc. and went on our way. Thanks Daniele and family, for the wonderful experience in this classy wine shop on the edge of town."

The food was excellent, the starters would already be enough to fill you up, the pizza was good, the dessert was spectacular, all served by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The price a little high. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
